A US rom-com that centres on a gorgeous but single flight attendant who wants to arrive at her sister's bridal party with a man on her arm. Smiley, throaty-voiced Montana (likeable Paula Patton) is a typical ingenue, with two typical best friends (one slutty, one gay). Plus a next-door-neighbour who never rings true. That said, some of the jokes about race (Montana is African-American) have an unexpected sting. What makes a figure like Tiger Woods “black”? Ask Montana.
